Middle School RR Clubs - Fall 2024

---

RR MODIFIED XC Description: This 7-week club is geared for middle school aged athletes, grades 6-8. Athletes will focus on building an aerobic base. Instruction will be given on the principles of distance training, overall conditioning, and racing. The session will be coached by Ryan Lantzer.

A "Half-Session" is offered and ends on 11/23. 

We currently plan to hold our club on Mondays/Thursdays at Willink after school from 3:15-5:00. Saturday practices will begin at 8am (North Ponds Drop-off for all Saturday practices except Webster Park) and end at 9:15 (pick-up location rotates). If an athlete chooses not to eat with the club after Saturday practices, they should be picked-up at 8:55 at the listed location. Coach Lantzer will send out a Remind notice when locations change. The fee for this club is $150 and includes a t-shirt. There is no registration deadline for this club. 

For athletes planning on Willink Modified Indoor Track or Ski Club, Ridge Runners practices will not occur on those days of the week. A calendar showing Indoor Track and Ridge Runners is linked here:
